2017 at a Glance

As Technology continues to evolve, Shockoe sees enterprise growth moving beyond Mobile Apps, Social Media, and Mobile Web – Apps as we know them will evolve into technology that will connect us to everything, although still driven primarily by that centralized screen.

Speed with volatility will be the new rule in this app space, whether you are dealing with User Experience and Design, App Development or thinking about moving into VR or AR – these technologies will drive experiences, customer and employee engagement, and new business opportunities and quickness is the key.

You might have used a hack in the past, but a clear strategy for this enhanced digital experience will be required to be successful.

The Technologies

This is where we come in

As one of the leading mobile app development firms, we are focused on creating apps that provide engaging experiences for our clients’ employees and customers. We have no intention of letting up on those reins, our goal is simply to broaden our scope.

We work with companies to help them generate those desired mobile experiences. We are now focused on integrating new technologies such as Voice, AR, VR, and AI into the new enterprise digital reality.

Our Prediction

New forms of interactive experiences manifest

As Enterprises continue to grasp the challenge Mobile brought, most will be ill prepared to face the reality new digital experience expectations will bring to Company’s IT and Marketing departments.

Amazon’s Alexa Voice and Nintendo’s Augmented Reality game, Pokemon Go, are driving the way Employees and Customers expect to engage with businesses and brands.

As organizations continue to struggle with Mobile and API Strategies, we predict a rise in new technology experiences and expectation for 2017.

Voice and Smart Messaging

With advanced technology enabling the automation of smart messaging and voice to device interactions, the screen is no longer required to be the primary conduit between the end-user and your back end systems. Combine this with machine learning and every process in your business can greatly benefit.



Integrations

We already have things like site-to-store purchasing, but it’s time to think bigger. Think, integrations between physical and digital realities. More brands and physical products are exploring next level of physical/digital integrations. Let’s start incorporating more digital features.

API Strategy

Expect to see more businesses developing an API strategy. APIs are more like business products. To successfully build and leverage these products, organizations must find appropriate ways for customers and partners to tap into them. Organizations should consider having a product manager to oversee these strategies.
